3.5.1.9. Tapered Prism

Description

A primitive closed solid containing two regular polygonal bases of identical
number of sides and varying radii connected by flat surfaces. Oblique prisms are
supported by defining the axial direction to not be perpendicular to the bottom
base.

Parameters

Label – A unique name that identifies the
solid. (ISolid/Label)

Coordinate System – The coordinate system in
which the solid is defined. Defaults to working coordinate system at time of
creation. (ISolid/CoordinateSystem)

Material – Chosen material for the solid.
(ISolid/Material)

Include in Simulation – Indicates if the solid
is included in simulations. If False, the solid is also not shown in the
view. (ISolid/Include)

Visible - Indicates if the solid is shown in
the view. (ISolid/Visible)

Mesh Control Only - Indicates if the solid is
used as a tool to control meshing. If True, the portion of the solid that does
not overlap the other normal solid is thrown away prior to simulation.
Additionally, the material of such a solid is irrelevant so the material
parameter is hidden. (ISolid/MeshControlOnly)

Center - [LENGTH] – Center of the base of the
prism defined in the solid’s coordinate system. (ICylinder/Center)
